Student Association President Howard Brookins stepped down from his post, according to a letter sent to administrators and SA leaders Sunday. The letter comes after more than 50 current and former SA members and student leaders called for his exit amid sexual misconduct allegations and claims he fostered a “negligent and careless work environment.” Brookins said he is stepping down for his “health and so many other reasons.” He denied claims of sexual misconduct made against him on Twitter earlier this month.
